Hi there, can anyone tell me why "however" is not correct in the blank space in the following sentence?
The Piraha tribe may be small, there are only about 200 members all told, ______ they exhibit a fascinating cultural peculiarity.
It told me the correct answer is "but". I thought "but" and "however" were synonymous.
Thank you in advance.
